Still got 3 more days to catch my home coming flight back to Malaysia.

Packed my stuffs, put them accordingly, put names on them who are helping we to carry back home cz i'm not sending cargo.And, i got back 3500 rubles deposit..wheeeee!!

i have been posting past entries as i'm busy and have no internet access now at home. Just sold out the computer.So, practically i'm a parasite now, sucking Ben's wifi to the max..fully utilising the internet.

Most of you might think that after grad, we'll be very free ,no it is not.

Yesterday,took my cert transcript and passed it to Ben (aka peanut).Then, dropped by his house and helped him to arrange all 66 Malaysian MD's transcripts.Now i realise how hard is the job for an office lady or the office boy..still need brain to think to figure out the easiest and most efficient way for the most productive result.

stacked up the certificates (hard covered), arranged the translated certs in alphabetical orders, sliped them into the hard covered cert. Then the transcripts were put in the same fashion like just now.

We have traveled distance,to get to wear this special get-ups, the hat with a rope in yellow, funny in the sense of dangling here and there when the wind blows and slaps your face, funny garment that it poses a symbolic code elaborating our profession and the programmed day that is remembered by everyone.

The day when the happiness was put on every faces, old and young, men and women, with bouquets on their hands and laughter filled the air..all smiles that were genuine and lighthearted..

Clarrisa and Jenna..pretty!

1400, the door of the aktovy zal closed, graduands got to their sits accordingly and we all welcomed the arrival of the V.I.P's...Many parents flew all the way from Malaysia just to witness their kids' glorious moment.

then came the speech..followed by the slide show i made ...hard work harvested..*hik*

Malaysia!

and the photos of the graduands were shown respectively ..did by an Indian who is talented in IT.

my cert in Russian, inscribed on familiar signs and stamped with seals that are mystical with symbols and mottoes.

later followed by the taking of the Oath of Hippocrates.(left-Russian, right-Greek)

translated:

I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation- to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!

The End

It finished fast, and all graduands had a photo session outside the compound of the Uni.

some crazy one

decent one

i had a tough day..sitting and staring with my sepet eyes in front of the monitor was weary, but when the product came out a piece of shit, that was insanely a total challenge to my utmost forbearing..

I'm responsible in making the slide shows for my convocation on 26th of June. This is not my 1st time making the slide show as i had been helping out twice for the past events. The slide show is about brief intro about the respective countries of the graduands and each part of the intro is around 15-20 pictures length of time. Last year i did for 23 countries, meaning 23 x 15(20)=345(460) pictures.

This year is a rather relief for me, just 19 countries.I want to make it better this time as I'm the graduand myself..As i still keep the folder of the pictures i used, they would prolly save me big time.

Here is the big bummer, the graduands prefer to use their own pictures provided by themselves. Ok, I'm not trying to be bossy around here, but the procrastinating and the delay had sucked up my time, handling me the disc and CD in short notice whilst my deadline is in 2-3days. *sigh*

plus, the pictures they gave me were microscopically tiny! I had to search for them all over again...

Everthing was smooth till when the pictures load is getting bigger and bigger, the window movie maker which i use to create the slideshow..started to wear off...imagine, a 5 seconds of show needed 20 minutes to gao dim..that's really dyspnoeic!

So, i had to restore the situation by making them parts by parts and join them into one complete clip.Clip one came out, played when finished saving...jeng jeng jeng.....black out the half way when it reached Indonesia! *stoned**stunned**aphasic*

i have been bugging my mates that i want to visit Mamaev the very last time before leaving. As Wawan's sister is visiting, so i took this very opportunity to hike the tallest hill in Volgograd city and did lotsa shooting.

The steps to the hill

Saw a pair of Russian folks,chatted with them and had a good laugh

lady selling flowers for the sacrificed heroes.

Statue of a crying mother

Man with mamaev behind

Spring has so much to offer and at least i'm not taking her for granted.Just looove the colors and the spectrum that offer me with full palette.
